Dear Environment,

Under the right of access to documents in the EU treaties, as developed in Regulation 1049/2001, I am requesting documents which contain the following information:

All correspondence/communication (letters, emails, text and whatsapp messages, minutes of meetings, etc) between officials of DG Environment and officials of the Dutch government, specifically, but not exclusively, representatives of the Dutch Ministry of Infrastructure and Water Management, relating the Water Framework Directive, specifically, but not exclusively, all correspondence/communication in relation to the Fitness Check of the Water Framework Directive conducted by the European Commission.

Within DG Environment I understand that it is Unit C1 (Sustainable Freshwater Management) that is responsible for the implementation of the Water Framework Directive. This request is not limited to this unit, but this information might help with the handling of this request.

This request includes all correspondence/communication send or received by Commissioner Virginijus Sinkevičius and members of his cabinet.

The timeframe of this request entails all documents produced between October 1st, 2017 and July 1st, 2020.

Please let me know if there is any additional information that might further facilitate your research.

Thanks for your efforts.

Kind regards,
Vincent Harmsen
